The Rochester Academy of Music and Arts is Rochester's fastest growing music school. Every year aspiring music teachers start their own studio and a year or two later, it's closed. The Rochester Academy Of Music And Arts has been going strong for 5 years, with enrollments increasing every month. The Academy has a proven track record of providing quality music lessons year round. Our full-time mission is teaching music!

6. A Comfortable Waiting Room for Students and Families.
If you arrive too early for your music lesson or want to wait for your children, don't sweat it!
